Why is it masculine?

Albergo is masculine because it derives from the Latin "albergum," which came from the Germanic "heriberga" (army shelter), and this etymological path preserved the masculine gender assigned in medieval Latin. The gender simply followed the inherited grammatical properties of its Latin ancestor rather than being determined by any productive modern Italian gender rule.
